Everything about Gordano Valley totally explained
Gordano (or the
Gordano Valley) is an area of
North Somerset, in
England. The valley runs roughly north-east to south-west, between a ridge of hills extending along the coastline between
Clevedon and
Portishead, and another ridge extending between
Clevedon and
Easton in Gordano. The area includes the villages of
Clapton in Gordano,
Weston in Gordano,
Easton in Gordano,
Walton in Gordano,
Portbury and
Sheepway. The
M5 motorway runs along the south side of the valley, splitting briefly into two levels - the south-west-bound level running above the north-east-bound carriageway. The
Gordano motorway service station is at the eastern end of the valley, near the
Royal Portbury Dock and the
Avonmouth Bridge. There is no river Gordano - much of the valley is reclaimed land barely above sea level, and it's drained by ditches (known in the area as "
rhynes"). The rhynes previously managed by the now amalgamated Gordano Valley
Internal Drainage Board are now the responsibility of the North Somerset Internal Drainage Board.
An area comprising a total of 161.68
hectares has been designated as a
biological and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest,
notification originally having taken place in 1971.
